Speaking last week at a conference on population and development, Mr Erdogan said "there is no difference between killing a baby in its mother's stomach and killing a baby after birth".
"I consider abortion to be murder. No-one should have the right to allow this to happen."

Mr Erdogan also said he was "a prime minister that is against birth by caesarean" because "unnecessary" elective caesareans were "unnatural".

I applaud this Muslim leader.

Do you ever think we will see a day when major nations leaders might say such words and prepare to enact legislation to prohibit abortion

To give credit where credit is due, abortion is still illegal in Ireland (in both Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland) although it has recently been strongly challenged in the Republic of Ireland and may soon be reversed there
